Tell us what’s happening:
I don’t know what to do. I’ve tried to do what the hint is telling me but it doesn’t work.
The hint: You should use the += operator to add char to the current value of encrypted_text inside your new if statement.
Your code so far
# User Editable Region
text = 'Hello World'
shift = 3
alphabet = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
encrypted_text = ''
for char in text.lower():
if char == ' ': 'space!'
index = alphabet.find(char)
new_index = index + shift
encrypted_text += alphabet[new_index]
print('char:', char, 'encrypted text:', encrypted_text,)
